Solution Overview

Problem

Users often forget to save URLs of their favorite websites while browsing, requiring manual entry each time, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device calculates a stay value based on user interaction, such as weight detection and tilt, to automatically store URLs of content when the stay value exceeds a set threshold, distinguishing between content types and storing URLs with their corresponding values in descending order.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If users manually store URLs one by one, then the user can control which URLs are saved, but the process is time-consuming and users often forget to save favorite websites

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic URL storageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user interaction with web contents and autonomously determines which URLs to store based on calculated stay values, eliminating the need for manual user input while reducing the cognitive load and memory requirements on the user's part

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of web contents and user interaction patterns in advance, calculating stay values and identifying favorite websites before the user needs to access them, so that URLs are pre-stored and ready for quick retrieval

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the system stores URLs based on simple access time, then the implementation is simple, but it cannot accurately distinguish user preferences from mere browsing duration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different weighting factors to different types of web contents (text, image, video, audio) based on their local characteristics and user interaction patterns, allowing precise differentiation between meaningful engagement and passive browsing for each content type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms simple access time measurements into a composite stay value by introducing multiple parameters including content type weights, interaction duration, and engagement intensity, thereby enhancing the precision of user preference detection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If the system stores all accessed URLs, then the storage is comprehensive, but it increases the burden on users to manage and filter through numerous saved URLs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of stored URLsVSAvoidURL management convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores only the most relevant URLs that meet the stay value threshold criteria, filtering out less important accessed pages and presenting users with a curated list of genuine favorites rather than all accessed URLs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user interaction patterns and adjusts its URL storage criteria based on feedback from user behavior, automatically refining which URLs are stored and prioritized to match evolving user preferences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An electronic device and a method for automatically storing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) by calculating a content stay value are provided. The method includes detecting a weight value of contents displayed, calculating a stay value using the detected weight value, and when the calculated stay value is greater than a set value, storing the URL of the contents.
